Puppies!!

Well Puppy Watch is over and (the New and Improved) Puppy Watch begins.  Jenga who always marches to the beat of her own drummer, decided to do puppies early.  After a long hard day, and a trip to the emergency vet, we have 11 beautiful babies - 6 boys (2 black ear patches) and 5 girls (no patches).  We've got them in both colors but I've not sorted that out exactly. 

Jen was doing great until she got to #8 and then she just stopped.  She was having hard contractions but no puppy.  So off we went to the emergency vet where she promptly delivered #8 (oh yeah, wait until we get there!).  Since we were there we decided to have her x-rayed and we were informed there were 3 more to go.  Good Grief Jenga!  While we were there (and waiting for the vet again - he had a higher level emergency) Jenga decided to produce #9 and #10.  Knowing there was only one more we opted to take her home and let Nature take its course.  Well, we did help her out with a shot of Oxytocin the vet sent home with us.  We got her home and settled and administered the meds and within a half an hour, #11 made her appearance - and I'm pretty sure she's a liver. 

  

We've decided to do an Aviation Theme for the litter this time, so the girls are Amelia, Lindy, Cessna, Piper and Allison.  The boys are Orville and Wilbur (the 2 patch boys of course), Wiley, Yeager, Doolittle and Sikorsky.  we'll try and get photos up tomorrow of everyone but in the meantime here are a couple Alan took last night.  Now, off to cuddle puppies.
